How are you running your script?
(I have no idea how to solve your issue I'm just asking questions to sound smart and helpful)
It’s a node process invoked by a
run.sh, which gets executed via a.desktopfile in the~/.config/autostartdirectory.I went with a systemd unit now and it works.
I can't remember off the top of my head, but your shell script might not be relaying the SIGTERM. Make sure you start your node process with the "exec" statement. This will replace the script's process with node instead of having node be a subprocess of your script.
When I run the script myself and kill it, it gets the signal and acts correctly. Only when I poweroff the system, this doesn’t work.
I also tried prepending
exec, but no dice."SyStEmD iS bLoAt..."
Your DE may be the one not relaying the sigterm, or it may be losing the PID because of the double launching.
Does the LSB have something to call on termination? Or you may want to call an executable there instead of a script.
